Late May snow?
Maybe it won’t happen, we thought.
But it did.
Plants covered, hunkered down.
Flip flops traded for boots.
Wet, heavy. sloppy.
We need the moisture.
Blue skies returned.
Back to spring.
Late May Snow

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects. View more posts

I like this. I live in NY. Always keep my winter coat hanging on a peg just in case.

Seriously! I didn’t think it would be as much as it was and now that it’s melted, I’m happy to say my plants made it through. I have a few that we think will come back, but most of them are fine.
